This morning the air is cold. Not chilly, but cold. One can only assume that snow will soon cover the ground, and at long last the 2009 scooter riding season will have come to an end.
It was a good, long season this year and mixing hot days of letterpress work with warm evenings of scooter riding with friends made for a wonderful summer. The winter months will be filled with (no surprise here) letterpress printing, but it is also time to lay the ground work for the 2010 Rattle My Bones Scooter Rally.
2010 will mark the 4th year that I have worked with other scooterists to coordinate the annual Twin Cities scooter rally. So as winter blankets the world with frozen white, I will warm myself at pallets of brightly colored inks, and work on plans for one of the largest gatherings of scooterists in North America.
And I never am sure which is work and which is play.
